When mentoring our pre-service and in-service teachers we need to describe and model both research-based and clinically tested best practices. Accordingly our mentees should know about the Presentation Model of Teaching.
On the chart below you will find some additional lesson plan ideas in seven content areas that can be transmitted by the teacher using the Presentation Model of Teaching.
Judaic Topic | Content Applications for the Presentation Model of Teaching |
